FAIRFIELD, Maine — The 11-year-old girl charged with manslaughter in connection with the death of a 3-month-old baby last summer still is being evaluated by the state to determine her competency to stand trial, according to the Maine attorney general’s office.

“She is still undergoing evaluation. There is no next court date set,” Brenda Kielty, spokeswoman for the attorney general’s office, said Monday.

The girl from Fairfield, whom the Bangor Daily News is not naming because she is a juvenile, is charged with reckless or criminally negligent manslaughter in the death of Brooklyn Foss-Greenaway.

John Martin of Skowhegan, the girl’s attorney, pleaded “no answer” on her behalf.

A “no answer” plea in juvenile court is “neither an admission nor denial. A ‘no answer’ comes into play when there are questions about skills associated with [the] competence” of the defendant, Kielty said in October.

Martin requested a competency hearing for the juvenile during the Oct. 22 court appearance, which was granted.

The competency hearing was ordered “to see if she … understands what lawyers do, what judges do, what court proceedings are for and so forth,” Assistant Attorney General Andrew Benson, who is prosecuting the case for the state, said outside the court building. Because of the request, Benson said he wasn’t surprised by the plea.

Kielty said Thursday a date for the competency hearing has not yet been set.

Brooklyn was in the care of the girl’s mother in Fairfield on the night of July 8. According to Nicole Greenaway of Clinton, her infant subsequently was left alone with the then-10-year-old girl.

“It looks like someone had beat her up,” said Greenaway in August. “Fingerprint bruises all over her face. A black eye. Bruises across the bridge of her nose.”

Benson declined to give an official cause of death after the October hearing. He said the girl has been in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services since she was charged with manslaughter.

Ashley Tenney, mother of the 8-month-old baby, who survived, told the BDN in September that doctors told her they had found amphetamines in her daughter’s system that matched medication prescribed to the 11-year-old for attention deficit disorder.
